Original text and translations

Latin text Tanquam agnus coram tondente se obmutuit et non aperuit os suum de angustia et de judicio sublatus est. Faux bourdon: Generationem ejus quis enarrabit? quia abscissus est de terra viventium: propter scelus populi mei percussi eum.  Et dabit impios pro sepultura, et divitem pro morte sua,

English translation He shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth. He was taken away from distress, and from judgment. Faux bourdon: Who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him. And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death" (Is 53:8-9)
